10 Sexual Positions to Experiment With When It’s Too Hot to Handle

      Last summer, I lived in a house without air conditioning, and during the sweltering heat and humidity, my sex life was virtually nonexistent. Can you blame me? After all, sex tends to be a sweaty and sticky endeavor on its own—adding heat makes it even more uncomfortable—so the only time I was undressing was when I urgently needed a shower. I endured a summer devoid of pleasurable orgasms, and it was incredibly frustrating. Fortunately, I’m heading into this summer with a functioning AC unit, but I’m still determined to ensure that neither the weather nor the long, exhausting days in the sun dictate my sex life. I decided to explore the best sex positions to enjoy during the sweltering heat, and today, I’m sharing my findings with you.

      Here are 10 tested and proven sex positions to try when it’s hot outside. These positions won’t make you sweat more and will still provide maximum pleasure. So, next time it feels unbearably hot outside to get intimate, consider these summer sex positions to fulfill your needs as well as your partner’s.

      1. Doggy Style

      Doggy style is enjoyed by both partners, which explains its year-round popularity. It’s especially advantageous in warm weather since it reduces skin-to-skin contact. For those with a vulva, it’s an excellent way to stimulate the G-spot. This position is suitable whether you’re having sex with a partner with a penis, using fingers, or a strap-on.

      Have the receiving partner get on all fours while the penetrating partner kneels behind and enters from the back. If you want to play with angles, the receiving partner can lay flat with their chest down and arms extended forward while keeping their butt elevated, or lie completely flat while the penetrating partner remains upright behind them. The possibilities with doggy style are vast, so feel free to enjoy and experiment.

      2. Niagara Falls

      For those curious about temperature play or experimenting with cool sensations, now's your opportunity. Fill a tub with cool (not cold!) water, ensuring it's ready to keep the faucet running without overflowing. The penetrating partner will sit flat with their legs stretched towards the faucet while the receiving partner kneels facing away, leaning slightly forward and balancing with hands on either side of the tub. From this position, the penetrating partner can enter from behind.

      3. Lounging Lioness

      If you prefer to take it slow and get intimate, this position is ideal—just make sure to do it where you won't be seen. Attempting this at or after sunset can be very romantic and leave you both with memorable moments.

      Use a deck chair and have the penetrating partner recline, while the receiving partner lowers themselves on top with their legs closed to enhance the sensation, leaning forward slightly so you’re chest-to-chest. This close connection heightens feelings and allows access to erogenous zones like the neck, chest, ears, or nipples. Remember to savor this position, as taking your time will help you both avoid overheating.

      4. X Marks the Spot

      This position enables deep penetration, increasing the likelihood of internal orgasms due to the penetration angle, and requires minimal effort from the penetrating partner. Find a flat surface, like a bed or table, and have the receiving partner lie flat on their back with legs in the air, either crossed at the knees or ankles. The penetrating partner can then use the receiver’s legs to pull themselves in deeply.

      5. Standing Fire Hydrant

      Get inventive and test your flexibility with this variation of the fire hydrant position. Both partners remain standing, allowing more air circulation, which means you won't have to peel yourselves apart afterward.

      Locate a cool countertop (or similarly elevated surface) and have the receiving partner bend over, resting their chest on it, then lift one leg in the air at a 90-degree angle or to a comfortable height. The penetrating partner can hold that leg with one hand and place the other on their hip while entering from behind.

      6. Joystick Joyride

      If you enjoy being on top but often find it makes you sweat, you’ll appreciate this position since it requires less movement and energy. The receiver takes the top position while the penetrating partner lies back. The unique aspect of this position is the arrangement of limbs—the penetrating partner relaxes their arms above their head, and the receiving partner extends their legs forward, placing their hands on the partner's shins and leaning back slightly. The partner on top can then move their hips in figure-eight motions, mimicking a video game joystick.

      7. Sideways Straddle

      Being on top empowers you to control the speed, angle, and depth of penetration if you're having sex with a partner with a penis or a strap-on. This position also works for non-penetrative sex and provides ample clitoral stimulation. Have your partner lie on their back with one leg straight and the other bent at the knee. Straddle their bent leg and kneel while facing away from
